Hello! I’m Joan Henry, a proud farmer from Mission in the beautiful Barima-Waini region of Guyana. Nestled amidst lush landscapes and vibrant rivers, my life revolves around the rich agricultural traditions of my homeland. A typical day for me often begins with the chorus of nature, as I tend to my crops and livestock, cultivating not just food but also community spirit. There's something special about sharing a meal of pepperpot or cook-up rice with friends and family after a long day in the fields—these moments keep our culture alive and thriving.
As a member of the Guyanese diaspora, I cherish the connections we maintain with our roots, especially through food and festivals. Whether it’s the lively celebrations of Mashramani or the warmth of a Sunday lunch featuring steaming cassava and fresh fish, these experiences are dear to my heart, and I strive to keep them alive, even from afar. I often reflect on my childhood in St. Monica, where the spirit of camaraderie was as abundant as the lush greenery surrounding us—an inspiration that fuels my work today.
In my farming journey, I aim to uphold the legacy of those who came before me while embracing modern techniques that allow us to thrive in changing times. I’m dedicated to supporting local markets and promoting sustainable practices that benefit our community. After all, as we say, “One hand can't clap”—together, we can nurture our land and each other, ensuring that the beauty of Guyana flourishes for generations to come.
